Here at Lizardfish Charters and Island Adventures, we tailor our services around your group or family’s needs. Here is a list of the services we offer:

-Fishing Charter (bottom fishing, Inshore fishing, or nearshore fishing).

-Island Excursions (fishing, cast netting, shelling, finding shark’s teeth, picnicking, bird watching, swimming, snorkeling, or relaxing on an Island).

-For any services not listed, we are open to accommodate all of our customer’s needs. Please message us to inquire about any special requests.

We allow you to choose when you would like to leave and return to the docks. After booking, please get in touch with us so that you can choose/adjust the times that work best to fit your group. Children and Pets are welcome aboard!

All fishing gear/tackle will be provided, as well as bottled water. Please feel free to bring your own fishing gear and any other provisions you would like aboard our boat. Our boat is a 202 Pioneer Sportfish with plenty of cushioned seating. Our boat can carry up to 8 passengers and is equipped with all safety equipment required by the USCG, 2 coolers, a live well, an emergency toilet, and boasts a pretty awesome sound system!

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary. There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing!
